These maps were drawn after the confict, probably as documents to serve Japanese strategy in the Shanghai area and/or as study documents for the training of officers. These maps show the Japanese army had a very detailed knowledge of the local terrain. Apart from the indications they provide for an understanding of the military conflict itself, they also supply excellent geographical knowledge on the topography and human settlements in the area north of Shanghai.
